Start of growth season sparks call for Scottish gardeners to act now on invasive plants
- An invasive species removal specialist shared on social media the results of a one-day English ivy clearing in a wooded Cary property in North Carolina.
- The specialist tackled English ivy because it is a non-native plant that competes with, overgrows, and chokes out native species while infesting trees and raising wildfire risks.
- Manual removal proves effective if caught early, with guidelines recommending ivy-free buffer zones around trees and avoiding use of pulled ivy as mulch or compost.

- The project inspired two neighbors to complete ivy removal, expanding coverage rapidly and likened to treating invasive ivy as a “cancer” in a nice patch of woods.
